STORYTELLER: “Dear God, thank You for the story of the widow who gave everything she had because she loved You. We want to show You how much we love You by sharing what we have—when we have a little or when we have a lot. Help us to love like Jesus does by loving everyone! We love You. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
